Removing AC Compressor

How difficult to remove the AC unit in a 69 fish? I need to temporarily move to repair the fuel line that runs behind it.
It's a ***** everything is in the way.
Is this the factory fuel line? If so you may be able to remove the entire line and snake in a new one or replace it with a flexible line.
If you go the flex route I DO NOT recommend you use rubber fuel hose.
